Various embodiments describe the process of the data sharing method form interaction among a first client, second client, a server, and a sharing client. The method can include following S201-S211.

S201: After a communication account is logged in to a browser of a first client, a server records an address identifier of the first client:

S202: After the communication account is logged in to a browser of at least one second client, the server records an address identifier of the at least one second client. The address identifier can uniquely identify the client. A communication with the client can be performed through the address identifier of the client. For example, the address identifier can be a phone number of a mobile terminal and other mobile terminals, PC's IP address, etc.

S203: The server correlates the address identifier of the first client with the address identifier of the at least one second client. The server correlates clients from which the same communication account is logged in to at multiple points with each other, so that data sharing can be realized between the correlated clients.

S204: When the first client receives a data sharing instruction of sharing data of a current webpage in the browser of the first client, the first client acquires shared data instructed by the data sharing instruction from the current webpage.

When a user of the first client wants to share the data in the browser of the first client with the second client, the user may send the data sharing instruction to the first client and the first client acquires the shared data instructed by the data sharing instruction. For instance, if a user of a mobile phone wants to share an image of a current webpage in a browser of the mobile phone with a PC so as to utilize a big screen of the PC and conveniently view the image in the current page in the mobile phone. In this operation, the user of the mobile phone may send the data sharing instruction to the mobile phone to instruct the mobile phone to share a website of the current webpage and the mobile phone may obtain the image in the current page from the browser.

S205: The first client takes the acquired data as shared data.

S206: The first client requests to the server for address identifiers of clients which are correlated with the address identifier of the first client. The first client can send a request message to the server. The request message carries the logged-in communication account in the browser of the first client and the address identifier of the first client. The server finds all clients from which the communication account is already logged in to, according to the communication account in the request message. The server finds the address identifier of the at least one second client which is correlated with the address identifier of the first client, according to the address identifier in the request message. The server returns the found address identifier of the second client to the first client.

S207: The first client receives the address identifier of the at least one second client which is correlated with the address identifier of the first client, returned by the server.
